Geita River, Iceland

We found this location literally by the side of the road. It's not very big - maybe three metres from one side of the cutting to the other, reducing to as little as one metre up the top where you could almost jump to the other side.

The glacial water is running forcefully through an old lava field and it's a most remarkable landscape, but then again, you only have to drive for five minutes to find remarkable landscapes in Iceland! The challenge in this photograph was in making the horizon look level when the lava field itself is sloping downwards.
